Why should you go to Lyon?

Audra says, “It’s a magical town. It is a little bit like Paris in the fact that it has, in fact, two rivers, so maybe a little bit better than Paris, two rivers running through it, a beautiful church on a hill, beautiful French architecture, wonderful museums, wonderful cathedrals, and it’s also known as the Culinary Capital of France.”

Audra’s 7-day itinerary for visiting Lyon, France, is as follows:

Day 1: Fourvière Hill and Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon)

• Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière:
• Start at this iconic hilltop basilica, known for its stunning Byzantine mosaics, Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and panoramic views of Lyon.
• Take the funicular to the top and enjoy a guided or night tour (available in specific months).
